We sought to be faithful to God, and now a dark cloud hides Him from us. We find it difficult, yea, impossible, for carnal reason to harmonize His frowning providence with His gracious promises. Ah, faltering soul, severely tried fellow pilgrim, seek grace to heed Isaiah 50:10, "Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

This discussion outlines the compilation of a specialized 19th-century pastoral bibliography centered on the *Ars Moriendi* (The Art of Dying) literary tradition, which contrasts the final moments of believers and non-believers to demonstrate the power of faith. Key figures in this genre include Davis W. Clark, John Gregory Pike, and John Warburton, whose works served as evangelistic tools and pastoral guides. A focal point of the research is the rare 1807 Middlebury pamphlet, *The Contrast; or, The Death-Bed of a Free Thinker and a Christian Contrasted*, which physically pairs the harrowing, despair-filled demise of the skeptic Sir Francis Newport with the triumphant, ecstatic deathbed testimony of Presbyterian minister Dr. Samuel Finley—a historical text that can be reviewed via institutional databases like HathiTrust or downloaded in full PDF format through widespread 19th-century regional reprints.

Welcome to today's program, where we are stepping back into the vibrant, often forgotten print networks and pastoral pulpits that forged the early nineteenth-century Second Great Awakening. From the foundational 17th-century English Puritanism of William Gurnall's The Christian in Complete Armour to the strategic New England revival engines of Nathan Strong's Connecticut Evangelical Magazine and Jedidiah Morse's The Panoplist, we will explore how local awakenings transformed into a unified global mission movement. Joining us on this historical journey are the towering figures of the era—including Edward Dorr Griffin, Heman Humphrey, Bennet Tyler, and Ashbel Green—whose traditional Reformed orthodoxy and orderly revival methods were defended and distributed through historic publications like The National Preacher and The Christian Advocate.

The Holiness of God is not blemished by withdrawing His Grace from a sinful creature, whereby he falls more into sin.

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones held the preaching of Samuel Davies in exceptionally high regard, famously telling an American audience:"You Americans do not know one of your greatest preachers." He went on to declare Davies to be "the greatest preacher you have ever produced in this country" (or the finest/most eloquent preacher the American continent has produced). Because of this profound admiration, Lloyd-Jones frequently recommended that those preparing for the ministry study and read Davies' old sermons alongside those of other historical figures like George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards.

The Beta (test) version of the Monergism APP has been released. After 15 months of providing audio for a few of the titles, the seed has been planted, another waters, may God bring an increase. Reflections on the last 16 months of this ministry.

To introduce a modern audience to the classic theme of spiritual warfare, this bibliography traces a robust, historically rich trajectory that spans over three centuries—beginning with the massive, foundational strategy manuals of 17th-century Puritans like John Downame and William Gurnall, mapping the deep psychological and pastoral care found in the soul-diagnosing "cases of conscience" by Pike and Hayward, and culminating in the vivid, fiercely practical 19th- and 20th-century expositions of Charles Spurgeon and Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Far from being a relic of abstract, archaic mysticism, this enduring body of literature functions as a brilliant, clinical handbook for the human soul. By masterfully distinguishing between the internal vulnerabilities of our own hearts and the external, highly adaptive "wiles" of a defeated but persistent adversary, these authors provide contemporary readers with a timeless blueprint for vigilance, mental resilience, and an unwavering reliance on the all-sufficient triumph of Jesus Christ.

I command men in the name of Jesus to repent and believe the gospel, though I know they can do nothing of the kind apart from the grace of God. I'm not sent to work according to what my own reason might suggest but according to the orders of my Lord and Master. Ours is the miraculous method which comes from the endowment of the Spirit of God who asks His ministers to perform wonders in the name of the holy child Jesus. We are sent to say to blind eyes, "See," to deaf ears, "Hear," to dead hearts, "Live," and even to Lazarus rotting in that grave and stinking − "Lazarus, come forth." Dare we do this?
